We obliterated our previous border crossing record of four hours today with a new time of one hour and five minutes. I think that will be tough to beat, especially since we will be in European Union countries from now on and have no more borders to cross.
Right before we hit the border, some traffic police pulled us over, but it turned out they just wanted to take some pictures with the Roadster. They let us take some pictures of their car as well!

We arrived at our hotel in Gdansk at about 2:45, but with a one hour time change, it was 1:45. We plan to spend this afternoon relaxing and exploring a bit, and then Leo, who is of Polish descent, is treating everyone to a traditional Polish dinner tonight, complete with Polka music.
Tomorrow, we head to Poznan, a drive of about 300 km. I hope all of you have a safe Fourth of July!
